Interested in any cause-based shows, whether they are in Seattle or not. I know Vitalogy Foundation gets proceeds from all show ticket sales, but the idea of having a cause's focus is intriguing. A stadium show with smaller venue solo/side project events would be a killer combo.
Yeah, it's nice, but such things are very difficult to sustain. I think they're actually better off in the long run sticking with the Vitalogy Foundation proceeds from regular tickets. People and businesses can catch the charity bug, but if you overplay it, things will fall apart, people will lose interest.
If you aren't in Seattle, you have no clue the extent of the homeless crisis here, the negative impact on these massive corporations is huge, it makes it much harder to keep prized employees & get people to move here, plus it's a embarrassment for people living here & many amongst those people are people with lots & lots of money
I am fully aware of the extent of the problem. That doesn't make charity burnout irrelevant.

With Pearl Jam who actually has enough pull & sway in this community, things can get done, if they are not involved going forward, they may as well just burn that 11 million dollars, cause it will get wasted in red tape & other bullshit, I have seen it happen ever since I moved here.

Homelessness isn't just a Seattle problem so we are aware of how it touches where we live, economics and all that.

It's bad in Portland and San Francisco too. My family lives in Seattle, so I've seen first hand what you're talking about. In Portland, you see people sleeping on the sidewalk outside plush 5-star hotels - makes me sick. Though Seattle is bad like you say, living in SF - I think we have it worse. Human feces everywhere, the new mayor London Breed even has a poop-patrol to keep human waste off the famed "Streets of San Francisco". Hope PJ spreads the love to other cities like SF and Portland that need the help too!

I would definitely return for the Home Shows! I really enjoyed Seattle and overall Safeco was good for a stadium concert. The sound quality exceed my expectations and being in open air was great!

Kind Of: Every 2 or 3 years is fine
I think they should do it every other year. They should play Seattle more often than they do, and it would be a great way to raise money regularly.
They should do regular ‘Away’ shows as well...

I could do without stadium shows. Acoustics kind of suck
the acoustics were freaking awesome at Safeco, that was my first stadium show, so I was thinking the same thing, but I was completely blown away
But where were your seats? I think location mattered for how the acoustics were big time!
Lower Reserve 20 to 25 rows up, one night on Mike's side the other on Stone's, up so about 300 feet or 100M from the stage, I have been to 16 shows since 1993, and have been much closer on many ocassions, and it was the most powerful sound of any show I have attended & it was really clear too, so I was super stoked
If they did, I would try for tickets every year. Love visiting the city. Every year may be a bit much, but if they made it into a yearly benefit concert, similar to Bridge School that would be awesome.

Agree!!!! Sound was not that great at Wrigley N2 at least IMO...
That's weird, cause Safeco sounded awesome, although it has a much better design for acoustics than Wrigley
It totally depends on where you are in any ballpark. The sound is always not very good at such venues for some people - just count yourself lucky that you weren't one of them this time around.

it's been pretty unanimous from everyone who attended Safeco that the sound was awesome, definitely not the norm for a Stadium, but Safeco has great acoustics & Seattle rarely has any wind, just mild breezes 5 mph or less, so it's definitely not the norm

I've seen people say otherwise about it, but for a ballpark, it sounds like it's good. Eddie didn't like the trains rumbling by though, lol.

Acoustics are actually better at these ballparks than some arenas IMO.

If you're in the right spot. But yeah, there are some arenas that blow for sound too, that's for sure. Hopefully PJ knows which ones by now though, and won't book them.

they stopped them just before the show started, I am pretty sure that's why we got 20:30 local start times instead of 19:30 or 20:00

had to be night 2, on night 1 there was a loud ass train like 5 minutes prior to show starting, then no more the rest of the night, but I was on Stone's side and could hear it very clearly, on night 2 I was on Mike's side, much further away from it & never heard it, I hope it wasn't during Oceans when I am listening to the bootleg of the show
